SUGGESTIONS
The Board is of the view that BC could address the issues with the management of forest practices and their effects on water by acting on the following four opportunities:

1. Improve public involvement by making water a core value in forest planning, including forest landscape planning.
2. Manage cumulative effects of forest practices on water as a legal requirement in all watersheds.
3. Improve regulation of forest practices that contribute sediment to streams.
4. Reduce the impact of historical practices on water through a renewed program of watershed restoration.

Response to Suggestions

Board Response

The Board conducts its work throughout British Columbia, and we respectfully acknowledge the territories of the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial.
